Embeded TED Talks w/subtitles are not displayed

    When using the TED shortcode to embed a TED talk with automatic subtitles the video is not displayed, because it is embedded using http instead of https (that is, it is unencrypted).

    For example:
    [ted id=1969] will be displayed, but [ted id=1969 lang=he] will not.

    (I believe that the same problem occurs with the unsupported gigya shortcode)

    Thanks

    Hi. I tested the same talk with the language set to Hebrew, and to English. Both videos played, the first with the subtitles in Hebrew, and the second with a choice of 37 languages. 

    [ted id=1969 lang=he]

[ted id=1969 lang=en]

    I didn’t expect the latter result because prior to the above test I tried a different talk, with the subtitles set to English. In this case there was no choice of languages on the player, only English.

    [ted id=2204 lang=en]

    Hi,
    You are right. I just checked and there is no problem with new posts.
    I’ve created a new (private) copy of a post where the embedded TED talks is not displayed and it works, however I’m unable to get it to work in the original post.
    Weird

    Or not so weird. Here is part of the embed code generated by WordPress in the original post:
    <iframe src="http://embed.ted.com/talks/lang/he/elizabeth_murchison.html" scrolling="no" webkitallowfullscreen="" mozallowfullscreen="" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="269" width="479"></iframe>

    and here is the same code from the new, private, copy:
    <iframe src="https://embed-ssl.ted.com/talks/lang/he/elizabeth_murchison.html" scrolling="no" webkitallowfullscreen="" mozallowfullscreen="" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="269" width="479"></iframe>
